Ok so this might be a double post that i hate to do, expecially for shilling but i think its warranted.
So i met up with old history teacher and he told he just updated his curriculum on his Perspectives on Diversity class, the only one of its kind here. He told about some films he's going to show the new kids but I think anyone should watch them:
1.The color of Fear. Very early 90s.
2. Hip hop: beyond the beats and rhymes.
3: Real women have curves.
4 Crash. (Ill get to that later)
So the Color Of Fear is a very real discussion of just 6 dudes, one white, two asians, one latino, and two black. Nothing but stone cold discussion on the current events at the present time. Guess what the right guy thinks about this situation. Hip Hop is about the oppression that has happened to the black community under these rappers labeled "hip hop artists". It talk about how white listeners of rap think of the culture and what do professors, producers, radio execs, and even the rappers themselves think about the music they create and the impact they have on youth. Its not all boats, drugs, guns and hoes. The rest of these films are less relevant to this thread but still good. Real Woman have curves. This film is hollywood movie of a young woman trying to find a future where she believes its only to get marry, knocked up, have kids, and die in a retirement home. Her mother is a very uncle ruckus type of character and george lopez is in it, so more reasons to see it. I believe its an HBO film or an abc family one. Now the last one may be bad but hear me out. Crash is a VERY broad film about how everyone is dealing with racial situations in there own way and it all the leads to the characters CRASHing into one another. Sure the movie maybe Oscar Bait but its probably the most accessible one. It has Frasier and even Ludacris.
So yeah, there maybe a few errors on the films but you should watch the first one, if not all of them. The first one is especially the best but the hardest to get because I only seen it on a vhs once.
